(1) When you order a hamburger at a McDonalds drive-thru, the person who takes your order is actually living in the Philippines. Your hamburger is actually physically cooked in China, then it's transmitted almost instant- aneously to the U.S. via a high speed D.B.P.L. (Digitized Beef Patty Line).
All this happens in less time than it takes to pick your nose.
(And soon even THAT will be outsourced)
(2) When you take a commercial airline flight, the plane is actually being controlled from India by a ten-year girl holding a joy stick in one hand and a lilipop in the other. The man dressed as the pilot is actually a retired security guard whose sole responsibility is to notice when the plane starts shaking and make the announcement on the loud speaker: "we are experiencing air turbulence."
(3) When you go to the hospital for surgery, after the anesthesioogist puts you out, your body is........OK, you don't really want to know this. Our own dear Riverwind experienced this a few years ago. He checked in the hospital to have his tonsils removed and.........well, you all know what happened then.
